The package was secured for THB 130,000 by Mr. Valentino Pannan, Senior Global Partnerships Director at IMG Services (Thailand) Limited.

In total, the eight auction items generated THB 2,950,000, with an additional THB 42,000 raised through on-site activities and donations, bringing the final amount to THB 2,992,000. The full proceeds will be donated without deduction to Chonburi Cancer Hospital to support ongoing medical development and cancer treatment services, helping expand access to quality healthcare.
